About the Item
This primitive Indonesian weaver’s spinner is a rare hand-carved wooden object from the Sumba Islands, in eastern Indonesia. Once used as part of a traditional spinning tool for hand-weaving fabrics, this authentic piece has been transformed into a striking decorative sculpture. Its stylized human-like form, dark patinated wood, and clean lines give it a timeless primitive elegance. Mounted on a discreet black metal base, it stands as both an ethnographic artifact and a refined design element. Each spinner was unique and carried symbolic meaning within local communities. This piece combines cultural value and visual impact, ideal for collectors or interior designers seeking authentic tribal, minimalist, or wabi-sabi accents.
